jonisdead Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 "Muse make such a big sound for a 3-piece band", well yeah, that's because they aren't a 3-piece band. Most of the comments I have seen here has been about keeping it as it is because they like the thought of a 3-piece band with "such a massive sound". Ehm...yeah, I'm not even gonna comment on that. Agreed, really surprised at how against this change the voters on this poll are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn. Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 i can't find the source but i read that years ago, Muse offered Morgan to be a full-fledged member of the band, but he declined happy to help them with the tours. So this thread makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 It's not like it's even uncommon for bands to have touring musicians with them, but I have to say, I watched a video of Uprising from the first Mexican gig, and seeing Morgan's positioning on the stage made me feel a little uncomfortable. They go to the effort to make him just visible enough that they can impress upon people that parts of the songs aren't playback, but still draw attention to him not being part of the band.

serpentsatellite Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I've certainly seen Matt call Tom the "fourth member" unofficially, so you would at least hope they'd offered Morgan a spot at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Absolutely. Not to mention that it doesn't affect the purpose of this thread anyway. I think we all believe Matt should play his guitar for songs like Uprising and Dead Inside. But he decided not to so I guess we make no sense.

And the keytar for Undisclosed Desires, don't forget the keytar, for God's sake. Agreed with both of you. The keytar was probably the single most cool thing they did musically during that tour, altoigh I was infatuated with Helsinki jam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Muse create music as a three-piece. I'm fairly sure Morgan doesn't contribute in the studio. So yeah, why would they need to make him an 'official fourth member'? Like someone above said, loads of bands have touring musicians. The point I do agree with though is hiding Morgan away on stage, that's a bit unfair. Biffy let Mike Vennart run wild when he toured with them for years.

ryanp16 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 What Clunge said. It's basically the same scenario with NIN. Fuck imagine a NIN gig where Trent hid everyone from view. That'd suck. Especially on the WT tour since Aaron North was the most entertaining person on stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 NIN is a bit different since Trent actually puts together a proper touring band, where Muse is already Muse and at least until T2L Morgan just played the extra stuff. Last tour Morgan got his fancy little keyboard with MIDI controlled lighting but now he just gets the hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonisdead Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I'd actually welcome Morgan contributing creative ideas in the studio as a full member. The only downside to that IMO would be it ruins the whole "democracy" idea but hey, big deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
